This is what I would have worn to Coachella, if I had gotten the chance to go. The floaty, light fabric of this colorful printed French Connection dress is so airy and fresh. The wedges are a collaboration between Pierre Hardy and Gap that debut in stores (and online) May 10th. I'm impressed by both the design and comfort level. Like walking on Sunshine.
And yes, I cut my hair. I finally took the plunge. I trimmed about 5 or 6 inches off and had the rest thinned and layered throughout. I may go a tiny bit shorter with more layers in a few months. Summer is too long and too hot for high maintenance hair... I will always miss my Alexander Wang and Miu Miu braid nevertheless.

Gorgeous girl!! I've missed you! I've been crazy busy and haphazardly checking blog only. Shame....time to catch up.
I love all your recent posts, they're fantastic. Great photography and outfit styling.
p.s. those wedges are divine. Were they a gift? Uber jealous!!! I'm going to try and get my hands on them, but trusting my luck there'll be no shipping to Aus.
Oh, I hope there is. Fingers crossed.
p.p.s. Looooove that dress too. Perfect Coachella outfit!
erika!! love your bracelets and like the way you kept things simple to showcase the wildly printed dress LOVE THAT DRESS! the greenery in back does make me think of alice in wonderland ;) or that Chloe Sevigny editorial!
KEEP TURNING ON:

ERIKA YOUR HAIR. I was so scared when i first read your tweet / twitter !! But this looks so amazing on you. I love the layers and it looks so soft too.
GORGEOUS AS ALWAYS + that dress does is come in my size?? (4) or do they run small/big?
Cat! x
Little PLASTIC Horses
your hair is bouncy love the picture form the side with your shoe tucked behidn the other leg <333
Finally you cut your hair and it looks nice! Much better! I have to be honest, I wasn't a fan of your hair before but now a few inches shorter with layers, it looks pretty! Layers are a MUST if you have long hair imo. The outfit is so summery and pretty!
Hey hon! Love the dress and the floral colors- would have been a great look for Coachella! Thanks so much for coming to my party!!! Your photo is up!! :) xo, mel
CUTE DRESS AND FIERCE SHOES!

Adorable you in this dress. I like yourr new hair too.
Get HUNGRY iNSPIRATION! Food & Fashion... (French Frosting)
Was going to comment you on chictopia but then realised you might not even read it there so it's be better on here ;)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT DRESS! I am going to check French Connection in the city for it. It'd be so perfect for Coachella or any other outdoor concert.
<(PS)> YOUR HAIR IS GORGEEEEE!
I am particularly taken by the contrast of your toe polish and the light-colored platforms... love it.

lovely outfit...great shoes...very nice blog
OMG the hair looks great! Now that you've done it I totally get it. I think some more long layers will be perfect. Pure gorgeousness! xoxo
drop dead Gorgeous in your dress and new hair!!
Have so many floral-esque dresses I need to introduce into the sunshine as well. This French Connection number is HOT on you :)
Gorgeous dress, love the wedeges!
http://crisgomez85.blogspot.com/
Love the hair! And geez, the more I keep seeing these shoes the more I gotta have them.
so cute outfit! and the dark long hair completes it so well.
following of course!

Noticed your hair right away, it looks really healthy !
your hair looks so healthy and soft; i just want to touch it!
i guarantee you can still do the wang braid at this length too and it will look just as good =)
Oh, your hair is still fabulous. How are those shoes, by the way? I saw them on stylerookie as well. Do they stay on, or do they hand from your feet when you lift them. They do look comfortable, but I'm always wary of shoes that aren't tethered to my heel!

LOVE IT!! BEAUTIFUL HAIR!!
your hair still looks fantastic - and i love the ditsy print of that dress. ck :) x
PS- I forgot to say before how much I heart your hair cut- looks fabulous!! xo, mel
wow, your hair looks so much nicer now! I think they layers should be a bit stronger if you know what I mean. That would be cute! Love your outfit. Great legs! How tall are you anyway??
Your hair unbelivably enough still looks long! :]
Want those Gap wedges ....online tomorrow you say?
LOVE your haircut! The layers give it so much life! You look great!

love those shoes, too! having a platform really does wonders with comfort right?? xx
Erika, the first thing I thought of (before I started reading you post) was 'oh no, the A. Wang braid!' Haha. You can still do a mini-version of it. :) You look ready for summer and I think your hair still looks gorg.
xo, becs
First of all, i read on your Twitter that you cut your hair... it looks amazing! So healthy!
Second, SO JEALOUS of your shoe collection!
And to answer your question i'm wearing the infamous 'Russian Red' from Mac.
your hair, although it seems only a slight difference (isn't i know) but looks amazing. and what a perfect coachella outfit! gorgeous!

AMAZING coachella look babe!! I love french connection so much, i think it's such an underrated store! I think every time i go in there i want to buy absolutely everything - and that dress would definitely be on my list ;)
Loooove the hair cut, it looks so fresh and healthy! I think you should go even more drastic though, as you mentioned :) And you won't have to miss that braid at all as your mane is till very much long enough to do one!
Ans how on earth did you acquired the PH for Gap wedges before their release?! I guess it must be one of the perks of being one of the most followed bloggers on the world wide web ;)
sorry for the novel... lol
Have a good day! xx
Great outfit on you! Your hair looks REALLY nice and the shoes are REALLY cool and sort of 40's retro! -T
Love, love love those shoes. Can't find them online - going to have to sprint to the local Gap store...
www.twinkletoes-golddangles.blogspot.com
I am a huge fan of those Gap wedges! i was admiring them yesterday, lucky you got them early..
it looks like you can still do the side braid!
great dress

I adore flirty dresses like this! You look so beautiful! Stunning! Like a supermodel! Love the new hair . . . it really lightens up your whole look! Cannot wait for your next post!
Those shoes are crazy gorgeous!
I love those wedges. I want go to Coachella next year but I might be studying aboard.
Wow, that's your hair AFTER a cut? Your hair was long! It looks great.
ohmylordy, your hair still looks out of control long. but just beautiful. great outfit, those shoes are ah-mazing!!!
http://laurenlanzaosias.blogspot.com
check out a new celebrity dress up vlog. good times.
I just did my Coachella Day 2 post. I opted for boots and a fedora lol, I know, so hot but.... MOSH PIT WORTHY!!!
You would have fit right in....actually you would have looked better than half the people there! Love the shoes!
Anyway, your hair is still gorgeous
lovely hills and pics!
if you have time check Moldy Desire: street style blog
your hair looks beautiful.
it's hard to cut your hair once you've grown it so long! you're so brave haha.
love the new edition to your shoe collection as well!
xx
U look great!love the colors :)
http://beyondthehype12.blogspot.com/
So crazy! As soon as I asked you that yesterday they called me again! I'm thinking about taking some classes there too. I should have just done it in college. I have a degree in Psychology/ Speech Pathology that I've done nothing with really. You should check into it. They offer some great financial aid and scholarship opportunities to post-graduates. If you ever go down to ATL to check it out, let me know. Maybe we can meet up. One of my best friends lives there and I visit often. Thanks for getting back w/ me.
